By: Julie Masajada A Kitty for Every Season! A nyone who knows me knows I LOVE my kitties, I have four! Each one came to us as a rescue and each one has a story to tell.  Left by Herself Our Tortie, Snickers was our first kitty of the pack we have now. She was saved along with her sisters, but no one wanted her because she has a cleft lip. That wasn't even a factor when we rescued her, and it has never hindered her in any way. Her Name Fits Her Well! Anabelle came to us next, she was given to us by a family member due to health issues.  It's no surprise she loves 2% milk since she's a cow kitty! A Huge Bear Cub!

My First Thanksgiving as a Blog Writer

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. A time for good food, good memories and great people. One day of the year when we can come together as family without the daily stresses of life. Even most retailers have scaled back their operations as people opt more and more to spend the day with their loved ones.
 Like I said, I love Thanksgiving, but it's the day after I really want to discuss. Black Friday. The day typical American families lose their mind and head to their local retail outlet, or less frequently nowadays their local shopping mall.

So I've been frantically searching the last few days for a great Black Friday topic. Everywhere you look at this time of year it points you towards Black Friday. Even so, I've never really been a fan of brick-and-mortar shopping on Black Friday. Thankfully, neither is my husband, Dean. 

Black Friday parking lots are always jam packed, stores are overcrowded and a majority of shoppers seem to become more and more irritated as the night goes by. Annually, we hear about frantic crowds becoming violent, and people getting hurt, all for the latest and greatest deals and steals. Yep, year after year on Black Friday we relish being able to stay in our jammies, and shop from the comfort of own home. 

Dean and I have been shopping online for quite a few years as just as many of us have. There are no crowds, no rush and no fights (usually).  The selection of products online vastly outweighs even the largest Walmart or other big box store. According to Pew Research, online sales have risen fifty-five percent since Covid-19 hit. Although those numbers seem to be dropping since 2022, online sales are still strong.

Which means a lot of us are changing the way we shop- and think. It's obviously easier to shop from home, but its also a lot safer and quieter too. With the rise of mass shootings that plague America today, many people have shied away from crowded stores and shopping malls, opting to turn to their smartphones or laptops instead.

Which got me thinking. How can online shopping be made even easier? Someone, somewhere must have found a way I thought to myself. So, I started to research different ways to make shopping easier, and sure enough I think I've found a good one! 

Thankfully, the good folks over at Amazon have streamlined the way their customers shop. Amazon Access is a perfect way to start your Black Friday shopping experience. Amazon Access features programs and discounts, along with payment and ordering options. You can also learn about and customize your accessibility options so you can shop the way you want to. I've included a link below if you'd like to take a look.


Anyway, this wouldn't be a Black Friday post without some Black Friday deals! I've curated a list of items below that I have either used, or are on my wish list. Please take a look at the spotlight deals I've collected below:

Navigating Work from Home Challenges, Opportunities and Money-Making Secrets

By Julie Masajada Venturing Into the Work from Home Jungle I've been exploring work from home opportunities for the last six to eight months or so. Until recently, I've only had a smartphone to "work" from, and I've been stuck with primarily playing mindless games and answering surveys, and I'm actually happy to say that I have come across a couple legitimate sites that actually pay, but more on that in a bit. As I have mentioned before, I have been a stay-at-home mom since I left the Women in Military Memorial in the early 2k's.  As such, I've tried a plethora of platforms to make money from home through the years, most of them involved selling/ MLM in some way. I tried various opportunities from Pampered Chef to Home Interiors, Mary Kay, Avon- you get the picture. Now that our youngest has left for college, and I have access to her working computer, I decided to expand my search, and try new methods to make money from home, and report the results to...

Wait. Plastic is Still the Savior of the Universe, Right?

The Introduction of a Brand New Innovative Material  Ah Plastic. The savior of the world. At least that's what we gen-xer's were brought up to believe.  It's everywhere around us. Everywhere we look. Everything we touch, eat, sleep or breathe has been touched by the plastic industry in some way.  From plastic bags and to go containers, plastic bins, plastic toys and games, even plastic auto parts. The world would be completely different without plastics.  In the 70s the outlook on plastic was very different. At that time, schools taught the evils of glass and how it was ruining the environment. And they weren't wrong. Glass, much like almost every synthetic material we have ever invented, has had an impact on our environment. But the world was in for a surprise when, forty years later, we are faced with the looming plastic crisis that exists today.  The Rise, and Fall of the Plastics Industry Long gone are the days the local store cashier would ask "paper or pla...
